Can anyone describe in the best order how to treat the underside of my van please?
There's bits of surface rust but seems solid enough.
Wirebrush, anything more?
Vactan everything? even if no rust?
Rustoleum maybe?
Underseal, final job?
Anything else in there? seam sealer? any form of primer?
Any specifc areas to treat differently?
I will have plenty of time as the rest of the bodywork is beyond my skill level and has to be done according to money availability!!
Thanks, Jon.

Re: Treating the underside
No, don't Vactan everything - thats just a waste. Vactan merely stabilises rust and thats all you should use it for. Personally, and no one will completely agree on what should be used underneath, either waxoyl it after treating any damaged areas or as I did, hammerite! Underseal is awful stuff.

Re: Treating the underside
Agree ^^^ each to their own but underseal only belongs on stuff to sell on ebay or the block, evil bliddy stuff
